​Out of sheer curiosity, I tried a one-on-one dance therapy session shortly after giving birth to my second son.  At that time in my life, I felt tired, exhausted and absorbed by the needs of my small kids. I was in full-on function-mode of being a mom.  

During my first dance therapy session, as I started to feel myself again, I was overcome with emotions and started tearing up.  I found a way to connect with myself again and could sense and follow my own movement impulses.  It was a very freeing experience and I *fell in love* with this form of therapy where I could literally let my body speak.  

In 2014 I successfully completed my training as a dance therapist and I am now, more than ever, thrilled to guide and accompany people of all ages on their individual journey of discovering their own body history.

​PRIVATE TH​ERAPY  

​Dance therapy is an integrative psychotherapy which allows the body to speak up and express itself. 
Through movement: deeper expression of feelings, ideas, ambitions, desires and relationships can be actualized.

  • ​when you long for a protecting space
  • ​when you feel that talking is not enough
  • ​when you wish to find your inner balance
  • ​when the soul is crying out to be heard
  • ​when the body shows symptoms that want to be understood
  • ​when you desire to feel yourself again
  • ​when you need to redefine your personal standpoint
  • ​when you want to free yourself from the constraints of your inner prison

SUPERVISION

​Creative Clinical Supervision

​Clinical supervision supports the management of difficult professional tasks, challenges, dead ends and crises in order to open up opportunities for choice and development for health professionals. Since modern working life is becoming more and more complex, demanding and stressful, clinical supervision aims to improve difficult communication structures and to optimize relationship structures.

Creative clinical supervision uses the creative expression of problems and thus enables a change of perspective in entrenched work situations and encourages trying out new solutions.

​Heal life with life.
